Formscan - STRENGTH OF SPIRIT picked up where he left off at Newbury last summer when making a successful reappearance at Musselburgh three weeks ago. Karl Burke's charge has now won three of his five career starts and there could be more to come. Of the others, keep a close eye on Kempton winner Go Rimbaud, who boasts good form and represents an in-form yard. Commanding Officer is next best.
